The scum is all over the world, and there are Shura fields everywhere

Chapter 289 Village Chief Bai

Taoyuan Village is truly like a paradise on earth. Not only is it beautiful with mountains and rivers, but the villagers are also very warm and hospitable.

When Hongguo brought the two strangers into the village, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the village. Along the way, people kept asking Hongguo about the origins of the two people.

Hongguo answered each question patiently.

When the villagers learned that Yang Rongrong and Shuying were lost, they expressed their concern for them. Some even gave Hongguo a portion of their freshly cooked meal and asked Hongguo to take it back to serve the two guests.

They also told Hongguo to entertain the guests well and to let them know if they needed anything.

A bamboo basket was stuffed into Hongguo's hand, which contained several plates of home-cooked dishes sent by the villagers.

She said goodbye to the villagers and returned home carrying the bamboo basket.

There are five people in Hongguo's family, grandmother, father, mother, and a younger brother.

They were originally waiting for Hongguo to come back for dinner, but unexpectedly Hongguo brought back two guests. Hongguo's mother and grandmother hurriedly brought chairs, invited the guests to sit at the table, and sent Hongguo's younger brother to the kitchen to get two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

The mother originally wanted to cook two more dishes, but Hongguo quickly stopped her.

"Mom, you don't have to work hard. The aunts in the village have sent us some food."

After saying this, Hongguo took out the dishes from the bamboo basket one by one and placed them on the table.

The small square table was filled to the brim with food, which looked quite sumptuous.

Hongguo's mother just gave up the idea of ​​cooking and warmly invited Yang Rongrong and Shuying to have dinner.

During the meal, Hongguo and her brother kept secretly looking at Yang Rongrong and Shuying, obviously very curious about these two guests who came from afar.

Hong Guo couldn't help asking, "Sister Yang, do you like the food at my place? How does it compare to the food outside?"

Her mother reached out and knocked her on the head, saying unhappily, "You think about the outside world all day long, and even compare your food with that outside? What? Do you dislike the food I cook for you?"

Hong Guo held her head and begged for mercy: "No, no! The food my mother cooks is the best in the world! I love it the most!"

In fact, Yang Rongrong and Shuying have both been practicing fasting, and they haven't eaten ordinary meals prepared by ordinary people for a long time.

Especially Shuying, he doesn't like to deal with people. Before he practiced fasting, he relied on fasting pills to fill his stomach for three meals a day. After he started fasting, he simply didn't eat anything.

He felt quite awkward eating the warm meal at this time.

But he has always been taciturn, and no matter what he thinks, it never shows on his face.

Therefore, no one present noticed anything unusual about him.

Hongguo's grandmother couldn't help feeling pity for him because he was pale and thin, and always ate silently with his bowl in his hand.

She specially picked up several pieces of braised pork with alternating fat and lean meat and put them into Shuying's bowl, and gave him instructions with concern.

"You are too thin, kid. You must not have eaten well on weekdays. Let me tell you, you must eat well at your age so that you can grow taller and stronger, and you will get sick less often in the future."

Shuying looked at the bowl full of food, was silent for a moment, and finally said nothing. He picked up a piece of braised pork and began to eat it slowly.

Seeing that he was so obedient, Hongguo's grandmother was very pleased.

Then she picked up some dishes for Yang Rongrong and told her not to be polite and to just treat this place as her own home and eat as much as she wanted.

Yang Rongrong's cheeks were puffy from eating so much and she kept praising the food.

"Aunt and grandma are really good at cooking. These dishes are so delicious!"

Hongguo's grandmother and mother were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yang Rongrong wanted to help clean up the dishes, but Hongguo's grandmother and mother pushed her out, saying that it was too rude to let guests do such things.

Hongguo pulled Yang Rongrong towards the backyard, talking as they walked.

"Go to my room and take a nap first. I'll take you to see the village chief later. He's knowledgeable and may be able to help you find your way home." Yang Rongrong asked, "What's your village chief's name?"

"The village chief's surname is Bai. I don't know his real name, but we usually call him Grandpa Bai."

Yang Rongrong's heart moved. The village chief's last name is Bai? Is it a coincidence?
She was very curious about the identity of the village chief, so she said, "I'm not sleepy now, please take us to see Village Chief Bai now."

Hongguo thought she was anxious to find the way home, so she readily agreed.

"it is good."

Taoyuan Village is not big, with only about fifty households in total.

It only takes a cup of tea to walk from Hongguo's house to the village chief's house.

The boy who came to open the door was about ten years old. When Hong Guo saw him, she said, "A-Dai, is your grandfather home? There are two guests in the village, and I want to ask him for help with something."

Ah Dai is a cute chubby boy, but he is shy and a little afraid of strangers.

He first looked at the two strangers following Hongguo, and subconsciously shrank behind the door, but still responded in a low voice.

"Grandpa is at home, come in."

So Hongguo took Yang Rongrong and Shuying into the yard of the village chief's house.

The yard is not big, but it is very tidy.

When they walked into the main room, Ah Dai pointed at the stools, motioned for them to sit down, and then quickly ran to find his grandfather.

After a while, the old village chief appeared in front of everyone.

"I've heard from people that there are two guests in the village. I think they are you."

Village Chief Bai looks to be over fifty years old, with gray hair, a plump figure and a round face. When he smiles, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes will bend, making him look very friendly and kind.

He was wearing simple gray clothes. The material looked rough, but it was washed very clean and had no patches on it.

Hong Guo said crisply, "It was them. They got lost in the mountains and happened to come to our Taoyuan Village. I just took them home for a meal."

Village Chief Bai looked at her with a smile: "Hongguo did a great job. It's rare for us to have guests in our village, so we have to entertain them well."

Hongguo smiled happily after receiving praise from the village chief.

Village chief Bai took out an oil-paper bag from his sleeve and handed it to Hongguo.

"Take this candy back and share it with your brother."

Hongguo obviously likes candy very much, and her eyes light up when she sees the paper bag.

She took the oil-paper bag and said excitedly, "Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief!"

Logically, she should have left next, but she looked at Yang Rongrong and Shuying hesitantly.

Yang Rongrong took the initiative to say: "You should go back first and don't let your family worry."

Village Chief Bai also said, "I'll take care of this place, and I won't neglect the two guests."

Hongguo trusted the village chief very much. After hearing what he said, she no longer hesitated and went home happily with the oil-paper bag in her pocket.

Village Chief Bai turned to Ah Dai and ordered, "Go boil a pot of water and add some tea leaves."

Ah Dai agreed obediently and turned around to go out.

After sending the two children away, only three adults were left in the main room.

Village Chief Bai's gaze fell on Yang Rongrong and Shuying again, and he said gently: "Where did you two come from?"
